You didn't use cast-n-craft on those did you?

Not sure what cast-N-craft is,

Easy-to-find, cheap clear casting resin sold in local craft stores that does NOT like to cure 100%...

ah, No I buy all mine from the local composite/fiberglass store. I mostly see surfboard manufacture guys in there, and boat guys. Pretty sure they all think I'm nuts.

I would be very interested in buying either a full cane or a kit. which ever you decide to do i would definitely be up for buying it.

Tip for the OP: The cane is supposed to be a fossilized dino tail. A lot of people presume it's bamboo. Not sure if you knew or not.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. THAT'S what it is. I always thought it was bamboo until I came here and saw some replicas. Then I realized it was supposed to look like bone, but had no idea what kind of bones it could be representing.

These look amazing! I've been trying to do this the last few days by casting one inside a plastic egg-shaped christmas ornament.... WHAT A DISASTER!

Would be cheaper/easier to buy one of yours, but the feeling of problem solving this is what makes this fun.

Do you have any tips on the mold making/casting process? I've seen people do one-part molds for this and it blows my mind. I can't imagine how you would get the mosquitto in there.

Cheers!

Yes, make a two part silicone mould. casting inside a plastic egg sound problematic.
I applaud your persistence in making your own, you learn the most that way
